OEM Audi Lights

The most common types of lighting your Audi comes with from the factory are headlights, daytime running lights (DRLs), and taillights. A headlight has both low-beam and high-beam functions. Low beams adequately light most driving environments. High beams, however, shine wider and brighter. Tail lighting and daytime running lighting help drivers around you see you better.

There's a light for nearly every other use you can think of. All Audi vehicles have signal lights or " blinkers" that indicate turns and lane changes. They also have brake lights, which signal that you're slowing or stopping. You can also use headlights as hazard lights or "flashers." These warn other drivers of danger nearby or that you need help. Higher Audi trims usually have fog lights. They shine low when the weather's bad to light your surroundings better. You can even get specialty lighting for accenting license plates and other accessories.

Kinds of Lights

Headlamp or tail lamp, a light is usually one of three lamp types. Halogen bulbs are common in small cars. Most sports cars have Xenon or high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs because they fit in narrow housings. Xenon bulbs shine brighter and last longer. LED bulbs are common in most new vehicles. They're energy-efficient and don't create much heat.

What lights your Audi needs is body-style dependent. When to change a car light bulb, however, varies. Replace Xenon lights every three years when they dim. Change LED lights if their electronics fail or they go out. Replace halogen lights about every two years.
